Tronox (TROX) Stock Price, News & Analysis

Company Overview

Tronox Limited is a vertically integrated producer of titanium dioxide (TiO₂) pigment and inorganic chemicals, serving a diverse range of end markets including coatings, plastics, paper, and printing inks. The company’s TiO₂ products impart brightness, opacity and durability, finding applications in architectural and industrial coatings, packaging, specialty papers and fibers. In addition to TiO₂, Tronox manufactures zircon and other mineral-based products used in ceramics, refractories and metalcasting industries.

Tronox maintains upstream mining operations for the extraction of zircon and ilmenite feedstocks through wholly owned mineral sands mines in Australia and South Africa. Its global manufacturing network spans North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific and Latin America, enabling the company to support a broad customer base with regional supply chains. Tronox leverages technical service centers and application laboratories to provide formulation support and product development tailored to customer requirements.

Originally spun off from the chemical division of Kerr-McGee in 2005, Tronox emerged from Chapter 11 restructuring in 2011 and completed a transformative combination with the titanium dioxide assets of Exxaro Resources later that year. In 2019, the company merged with Cristal’s TiO₂ business to create one of the world’s largest integrated producers of titanium dioxide pigment. This merger enhanced Tronox’s geographic footprint, diversified its feedstock portfolio and strengthened its vertical integration across mining, processing and finishing operations.
